Question about tution

I was just wondering if I am an OOS student, is it possible to gain residency in that state, and start paying the in-state tuition after the first year of medical schools?

Thanks

At some places, don't remember which. University of South Alabama is one though. There was a thread on it recently - you can either try using the search engine to find it, or maybe someone will be nice enough to post it if they have the link on hand.

Sometimes, maybe, usually. It really depends on the state.

My medical school has a program that sets students up with paid research that meets the state's income requirements for residency. So here, the school helps you get state residency after the first year of medical school.

Some schools in TX waive OOS tuition - you pay in-state tuition

As I recall Ohio considers you a resident after one year. And I think New Jersey considers you a resident fairly quickly. Some schools let you defer a year specifically so you can work a year and gain residency status (Iowa). Some will consider you a resident in a year if your spouse holds a job in the state during that time.

I know that Colorado DOESN'T allow it anymore...I guess they used to after two years or so but now you have to pay the 75 grand all four years. Just thought I'd throw that out there

yeah, I remember when I was applying and I saw that I did not even send the primary in. $300,000 just for tuition? No thanks!!!

Ohio and New York state schools do, I believe. Definitely sure about Ohio ones.

How about the states of California, Michigan, and Pennslyvania?

I believe you can in California, but not Michigan. Don't know about PA.

For California, you cannot hold residency status in any other states, must show intent to make Cali your permanent home (pay taxes, register to vote, etc.), must live in Cali for at least a year, and must prove that you're not living in the state solely for educational purposes.

For PA, you have to live in the state for a year prior to starting school to be considered a resident for tuition purposes.

If I go to cali med sch, its not possible for me to work at the same time, coz no time. Wt if Im PR but not yet citizen? then I cant vote either. Does it mean that I hv to pay skyhigh tuition for all 4 yrs?🙁

Do you have dyslexia?

I think it'd be very difficult for you to establish residency, so most likely.
